Police are searching for two men who were seen on surveillance video holding up a liquor store early Thursday near Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.

The robbery took place shortly after 1 a.m. at the Magicland Market in the 200 block of East Katella Avenue, less than a mile from the “happiest place on earth.”

The store’s video shows two masked suspects physically engaging the clerks behind the store’s counter.

One of the suspects pulls out what appears to be a gun and points it at the two clerks, demanding the cash register drawer be opened.

The suspect is seen taking money out of the register while the other suspect pushes a clerk and then looks under the counter. He then shoves something into the pocket of his sweatshirt.

Police said one of the clerks was shoved to the ground during the robbery but refused medical treatment. The second clerk was unharmed.

It was unclear how much cash was taken in the robbery or if the suspects left the scene on foot or in a vehicle.

The suspects were both described as men standing about 6 feet tall with medium build. They were wearing dark blue hoodies and dark jeans.
